MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte is running late for his fourth State of the Nation Address. This will be the third time the president will deliver a delayed SONA speech. That same year was the second longest SONA speech he delivered, lasting for an hour and 22 minutes. In 2017, Duterte was a bit late for his second SONA and arrived at 3:50 p.m. In 2018, Duterte arrived at 3:56 p.m. but commenced delivering his SONA speech at 5:20 p.m. since there was a House leadership tussle.
